My website went up recently! I'm extremely excited. I just did a wedding on Friday, and I have a few more coming up. This pic is from that day.

Nearing the finish line.

In the last two weeks I've watched 3 complete seasons of Grey's Anatomy. I know I'm probably not helping with the writer's strike with downloading all the episodes off the internet, but the last time I actually used a DVD was a LONG time ago. And I have 80 gigs on my IPOD that are pleading and begging to be used. I'm now on episode 3 of the 4th season and I love this show. This is worst then The Hills, America's Next Top Model, Heroes- or even my addiction with Halo 3.

Who says I can't finish anything?

Save the Cheerleader, Save the World

I get really addicted to TV shows easily. I've noticed if I watch the first two episodes of whatever series, I'll get glued. It doesn't matter how stupid the show is, or how badly it sucks in reviews- I will get addicted. It's happened way too much... 24, Lost, Alias, House, America's Next Top Model, The Hills, Laguna Beach, Sex and the City... and even A Shot at Love (dang you, Tila Tequila).

So a few days ago when Russ, Gianne and I were driving back from Milford for a wedding- I borrowed Russ' ipod to pass the time. And lo and behold... There it was... The first two episodes of HEROES. NOOOOOOOO!!!!!

I purposely avoided this show because I knew I'd be addicted. And I especially avoided it when it first came out. I can't watch a TV show unless the entire season is on DVD. I have no patience to wait. It drives me insane if I miss a show and end up having to wait the entire season before it reruns. No way, man. I'm the gal who will buy the dvd set and make NO plans for a weekend just to watch it all.

I did it. I watched it. I opened up my heart to the story and all of its heroic characters- good and evil... and now- I'm glued. As soon as I got home I downloaded 5 more episodes off of ITunes.... But that wasn't enough... No, not nearly. I stayed up all night (til 4:30am) and watched all of them. And the next day, I downloaded 5 more. It's not cheap. It's 2 bucks per episode and the entire season is almost 50 bucks!

It's slowly taking over. In the last 3 days I've watched more Heroes than I've played Halo3... And I know some of you may be thinking, "why's that so bad?"- but to those who know me and my Halo 3 addiction, I may be seeking some help soon. I almost crave the tv show over the game.

If you haven't seen Heroes yet, I REALLY recommend it. Not because I said so, but because it's good. It's amazing. I LOVE IT.

And now I'm off to download 5 more episodes.

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!

Yay! We put our Christmas Tree up on Thanksgiving night (it's a tradition in my family). It's our first one as a married couple! Our apartment has absolutely no room- and for awhile I was kinda bummed thinking we weren't going to be able to put on up this year because of the lack of space. But I went over to Roberts the night before Thanksgiving and found a really skinny one that seems to fit fine right now.

Heaven = Rice Pudding

SO- Gianne, Russ and I drove down to Milford today to photograph a wedding. On the way back, we stopped in Provo to get some grub. We ended up at a Hawaiian place (Bamboo Hut) and that was pretty good. But let me tell you what we discovered- HEAVEN. That's right. And 16 different kinds of heaven. We were about to head out of Provo when I saw a sign calling out to me, "PUDDING ON THE RICE". I remembered a coworker telling me about this place back in the summer because we were sharing our love of Rice Pudding- and conversing about how hard it was to find a good one. Then he mentioned this place... mmmmmm....

So the three of us, completely full of Hawaiian goodness, stopped by and tried some. All I have to say is that PUDDING ON THE RICE is one reason- and a good enough reason on its own- to go down to Provo. 16 flavors! And they change the flavors every couple of weeks.... coconut, tiramisu, vanilla, chocolate, lemon, raspberry.... I'd go on, but it's making me sad that this fine establishment is so far away. So much better than ice cream...
